Frenchman Joel Jutge will take charge of England's opening autumn Test against New Zealand at Twickenham on November 5.

New Zealander Kelvin Deaker has been handed England's November 11 clash with Argentina, while the two Tests against South Africa on November 18 and 25 will be in the respective hands of Steve Walsh and Alain Rolland.

Walsh, meanwhile, will also be in control of Wales' first autumn game against Australia at the Millennium Stadium.
